Man Convicted Of Abusing Young Teen

September 13, 2013

A Santa Rosa County man has been convicted of abusing a young teen.

Russell Lee Maloney, 34, was convicted of sexual battery by a person in familial or custodial authority. He was arrested on April 30, 2012 after the 14-year old victim disclosed to her youth pastor that Maloney had engaged in sexual intercourse with her at his home. During a videotaped interview, Maloney admitted to Detective Scott Jones that he had sex with the child.

Circuit Judge John Simon scheduled sentencing for October 22, 2013, and ordered Maloney to remain in the Santa Rosa County Jail until that time. Maloney faces a maximum of 30 years in state prison.
